Public bug reported:
The Ubuntu Server team runs a series of tests against the LTS and
current development ISOs. On Trusty, one of the tests is to install a
minimal VM kernel by using the "linux-virtual" kernel via a preseed
entry as follows:
d-i base-installer/kernel/override-image string linux-virtual
On Trusty, the follow error is received:
Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: warning: Kernel override 'linux-virtual'
not present
And the only useable kernels are as follows:
Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-signed-generic-lts-xenial
usable on em64t-p4
Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-generic-lts-xenial usable on
em64t-p4
Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-virtual-lts-xenial usable on
em64t-p4
Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel
linux-signed-image-generic-lts-xenial usable on em64t-p4
Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-extra-4.4.0-31-generic
usable on em64t-p4
Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-generic-lts-xenial
usable on em64t-p4
Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial
usable on em64t-p4
Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel
linux-signed-image-4.4.0-31-generic usable on em64t-p4
Sep 14 22:40:43 base-installer: info: kernel linux-image-4.4.0-31-generic
usable on em64t-p4
Which leads to the following kernels selected:
Sep 14 22:40:43 debconf: Adding [KERNELS] -> [linux-signed-generic-lts-
xenial,linux-generic-lts-xenial,linux-virtual-lts-xenial,linux-signed-
image-generic-lts-xenial,linux-image-extra-4.4.0-31-generic,linux-image-
generic-lts-xenial,linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial,linux-signed-
image-4.4.0-31-generic,linux-image-4.4.0-31-generic]
I would have expected the 'linux-virtual' meta package to exist and in this
case possibly point to 'linux-virtual-lts-xenial'. This way my existing preseed
would not need to be updated. Forgive me in advance if this is due to my lack
of understanding of the LTS/HWE kernels, however as I stated I expected the
linux-virtual package to continue to exist. This does work as expected on
Yakkety and Xenial.
